Operating System / System 7.6.1 on a 6400?
October 20, 2008, 04:42 |
I thought it was a retail one, but it probably came from another computer, most likely a 68K one. Which would explain why it refuses to boot off it. I think I'm done juggling around with System Folders and System Enablers, I suppose I'll just have to get a CD off eBay if I really want 7.6.1 on this. I need to ask the guy who gave me this 6400 if he still has the original installation CDs for this. What does the 6400 come with? 7.5.5.? |

Operating System / System 7.6.1 on a 6400?
October 19, 2008, 21:33 |
Hey there, I posted this on The 6400 Zone, but you guys seem to be the System 7 experts, so here's a cross-post: Hello, I'm having all sorts of troubles when trying to install Mac OS 7.6.1 on a Performa 6400/180 that was given to me the other day. It came with 9.1, but it felt a bit sluggish to me, so I tried to install 7.6 using a 7.6 CD, but upon booting, it gave me a "This startup disk will not work on this Macintosh model. Use the latest Installer to update this disk for this model." Well, that's weird. Apple says 7.5.5+ should work just fine on the 6400. So I made a bootable 9.1 CD using the 9.1 System Folder that was already on the hard drive, booted off that and tried to run the 7.6 installer. It ran fine. Then I ran the 7.6.1 updater. Also ran fine. I rebooted the system and got the same "This startup disk will not work on this Macintosh model. Use the latest Installer to update this disk for this model." message. Any ideas of what could be wrong? Obviously, running the 7.5.3 installer that can be downloaded freely off apple.com doesn't work (Installer doesn't recognize the Mac's model). By the way, this 6400 doesn't have a floppy drive. The previous owner said it broke and that he probably threw it away. I have plenty of CD-Rs, but making bootable CDs is quite annoying, as it requires booting using the 9.1 CD I made, drag the System Folder into Toast, make an image, transfer that through Ethernet to my Macbook and burn it there. Thanks in advance. Any help would be really appreciated, as I have no idea of what could be wrong. |
